Washington Post: Ron Paul, Politician and Yenta - Ron Paul Singles

0 votes

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2009/07/ron_paul_the...

"For anyone who doubted it, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the libertarian phenom of the 2008 presidential campaign, is a lover, not a fighter.

And he's spreading love far and wide across the Internet, albeit unwittingly.

Paul is the inspiration behind a new online dating site called Ron Paul Singles. "We put the LOVE in Revolution," the Web site proclaims.

It works just like any other online dating service. Plug in "man seeking woman," "woman seeking man," "woman seeking woman," "man seeking man" or even "couple seeking (fill in the blank)" and you're instantly shown the potential opportunities out there in the land of Ron Paul Love.

We asked Rep. Paul a few questions about the site via e-mail, including whether he ever imagined that he'd spur an entire online dating community built around... well, himself.

"Well, I never thought I'd speak to crowds of 5,000 college kids chanting 'End the Fed' and burning Federal Reserve notes, so I guess nothing surprises me that much anymore," Paul wrote back.

The neophyte yenta said he didn't know who was responsible for creating the Web site but "I suppose it's all about Freedom bringing people together -- spiritually, politically, and now, romantically." And he encouraged any of his single friends who "want to meet a great lover of liberty" to sign up for the Ron Paul Singles dating services and give him some feedback on their experiences.

Way to go, Thomas!!

How wonderful that you took off with that project, that word is getting out, and that, in connecting like-minded singles with each other, you are also helping more people hear the name Ron Paul and perhaps get introduced to r3volutionary (e.g., original American) ideas. Kudos, and best wishes to you.

And BleuCream? Remind me to never get on your bad side. BOOH-ya! ;)

Thanks fanofwalt...

it took a while to get it where it is today and there are people from 6 countries registered already!!! I am thinking of an article for people on how to fill out an profile to actually pique someones interest because" I'll tell you later" doesn't quite cut it.

With the recent Washington Post article and Rons comments this really makes me want to try go to Texas to go to Ron Pauls birthday bash because believe it or not we share the same birthday!!! Don't know if it's in the cards though...

Thomas:

You are now a creator, I congratulate you.

And I wish you nothing but success.

Be careful ...

Every decision you make is a life or death one concerning your venture.

To limit your appeal now, will be a deathblow.

I wish you success on your journey.

God Bless.

WAHOR!!

5 guys to 1 girl?

so what's the ratio of guys to girls? something like 5 to 1? when I was going to the RP presidential meetups the only "girls" I saw were >60 and older and a few younger chicks. good luck getting "romance" on this site. it'll probably turn into a "guy to guy" site lol.
everybody knows girls for the most part are not into "independence" or "small government" or "free markets" or "free market-based healthcare". hmmm, what is "free market" now?

Yes. Everybody knows.

...everybody knows girls for the most part are not into "independence" or "small government" or "free markets" or "free market-based healthcare".

I don't think we've met, rumcho. Perhaps you could tell me what color the sky is on your world, and how many moons orbit your planet.

Hey what's wrong with 60?

The old gals love too!

They Have Been Laughing At Dr.Paul Since Day One And Still Do It

and you can laugh at the site, at me, whatever, some people will get it and some won't. We are all creators on this planet, Ron Paul created a movement that possibly is going to change the destiny of this country,

Michael Nystrom created this wonderful site where you are allowed to voice your opinion and learn and share your insights, opinions, and debate with others...and have all top drawer info from a multitude of sites right here.

I created RonPaulSingles to give people a venue to actually see and possibly make a connection with like-minded people from around the world or around the corner...it is what it is and it will grow and it will be successful for many people...I'm sure of that now.

Your math on the 5/1 ratio is off, it's not quite 3/1.

Congratulations, Thomas.

Congratulations, Thomas. You've hit the big time now. :-)

I am very happy for you, and I hope your site sees great success.

Thanks Khomar....

I don't know about hitting the bigtime though... I sure do realize that it takes a a little more time to run than the way I imagined it but it's really interesting and keeps me on my toes. I wonder when people are going to start hitting the chatroom... I've tried to get people over there just to try it out because it has so many cool features but it's almost impossible....

ight, tells me we may have reached many more people with the message of liberty from your efforts Thomas. I thank you for your proactiveness, and hope your site takes off. Thank you for being motivated, I am glad we have you.

And of course Obama fans will get one and take all the credit like it was their idea. I guess it will be Obamates.com

Just saying, I hope the idea doesn't catch on for other politicians. Ew.

now that is funny!!

ewwww, is right!

" the important thing is to never stop questioning, curiousity, has it's own reason for existing..
Albert Einstien

Knowledge is power, action is love.

I noticed

that the WP "author" used the yiddish epithet "yenta" to describe Ron Paul.

The "Yiddish Dictionary" defines "yenta" as
"A vulgar shrew"
"A shallow coarse termagant"
"A woman who talks too much; a gossip unable to keep a secret; a woman who spreads rumors and scandal"
"A gossiping, complaining, argumentative woman. Not your popularity contest winner."

I suppose these Israelis and their sycophants never can resist getting a jab in at anyone who opposes their world domination schemes.
Thankfully, the Washington Post is on it's last legs, and with any luck will be out of business before the end of the year.

yenta = a matchmaker amongst a congregation

Some get paid.

von Mises

There is a reasonable case to be made that Ron Paul is von Mises' bitch.

Ron Paul sacrifices libertarian principles on the alter of von Mises for no higher purpose than to lead libertarians to political defeat. If you're going to compromise your principles, usually you do it because your principles aren't political wins in the current environment.

The best explanation I can come up with for this is that Ron Paul is von Mises' intellectual yenta.

Land is a natural right.

If you read nothing else, read this: A Contract Between Americans

You are exactly like the

You are exactly like the federal government...rude, arrogant, ignorant, and don't recognize brilliance when you see it. I fear that you may be a lost cause. You really need to apologize if you want to be taken seriously here.

jabowery may be just a BITCH,

but the Good Doctor Ronald ERNEST Paul, is NOBODY's Biatch!!!

Buddy, you're on the wrong site to uttering such unsubstantiated nonsense. Just acting as if you understand libertarianism and taking cheapshots at a man, who CLEARLY DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH NONSENSE, does not make you morally, nor intellectually superior in any way. Just another neurotic internet threader cruising for attention.

I do not say this as some cult of personality cultist. The man has PROVEN time and time again, with over 30years of public service, with a distinctly pro-liberty, pro-freedom voting record. Such earnest service and philosophy evolved out of personal experience should make it clear to ANYONE, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Ron Paul IS HIS OWN MAN. This is SELF-EVIDENT to ANYONE who's lived a bit, with an open, observant mind. Agreeing with the idiot shill hack for "pay for play salon" WaPo scribe makes you no better than douchebags at Ann Cox's Wonkette.

I do not say this facetiously. Ron Paul is one of the few who can match the Founding Father criteria, without the slavery of course. There are very few alive today, who can write the same documents today. Hell, no laws these days are written by the legislators we elect anyway; they're proposed and written by various PAC funded and provided Congressional aides.

So, are you just one in six billion of internet Monday Morning Keyboading naggy loons who does nothing but bitch, sir/mam? What have you contributed to the awakening, and/or educating the minds of millions? I dare you to match the Doctor's record based on principled living.

"The best explanation I can come up with for this is that Ron Paul is von Mises' intellectual yenta." tells me, you're a simple prick, trying to garner attention. For what reason, who knows. How old are you anyway?

"Land is a natural right." That dictates that you actually can "own" the land. Nobody can truly OWN a land, with or without the currently fraudulent State dictate that seeks to take away purchased land if property tax is not paid. If you want to visit true concept of "ownership," perhaps we should all hand it all over to the Native Americans, which at current state of things, would be the more sanguine choice. Historically all lands were FORCIBLY taken away from one indigenous population by a foreign invader, on ALL continents. Well, if you really want to get cute, did those natives establish agreements with native flora and fauna to take it over?

I understand where your statement comes from, and am aware of some who ascribe to it. But your "land is a natural right" statement, on its face is UTTERLY ridiculous. That's like saying healthcare is a natural right. Certainly, YOU were BORN with unalienable rights, but you are not born with land rights. Unless you're talking inheriting your rich daddy's land. So we should just give you ANY land if you claim it, willy nilly?

Furthermore, historically, under the Babylonian-Canonite/English Common Law, in which our current meme of land right has derived from which states that a land is "yours" if you work it. But, WHO decides what "working it" means? What is the criteria? Should we still use the terms under the Western Expansion when they were "our territories?" Or is a mere virtue of being on a given square footage enough?

Or, is your whole angle based on defense of "borderless borders" illegal immigration meme, of the Koch fundy Beltway fake ass libertarian now populated by ignorant, neurotic liberals of Reason Mag, just as fake as the Left vs. Right paradigm? You ever wonder why those pro-illegal immigration marches were funded by WalMart and others who benefit off of slave labor?

If so, you may want to reconsider, illegal immigration, at fundamental levels: it is about SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP.

If you want to destroy a social fabric of a "society," whether you want to deal with it or not, or believe in "society" vs. a small commune; if you so ascribe to Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalism (which I personally can relate to the most, if I were to label my econo-political philosophy, but I can intellectually debate and ponder upon concurrently disparate philosophies, as well as entertain someone who promotes a version over another, like some religion), or miniarchism, introducing a foreign population without an agreeable term breeds suspicion, mistrust, and perpetuate an unspoken caste system; current political proponents on both "liberal and conservative" factions are all too happy to label latinos as if they are born in a factory to grow up to be some day-laborers.

That's what you get, with institutional advocacy of illegal immigration. It also undermines the years of efforts put in by LEGAL immigrants, whom ALL AMERICANS owe our progenitors to. You really want to live in a society anytime a person who even remotely looks Latin, you'd assume he/she got here illegally, their children assumed to be anchor babies? This is called social engineering.

If you DO truly understand the principles of liberty, as well as fundamental libertarian "tenet" of non-violence, or govt force, or edict, frankly it'd be disingenuous for you to be for, or AGAINST FORCED registration status of any human beings, be it legal or illegal immigrant, or citizen. Not to mention, any legal status of "your land." Because land deeds are govt issued licenses, which makes your "natural land right" irrelevant. Try giving up your land deed to your house and see what happens. Which also goes against pro-property rights of libertarian philosophy. Hell, you should be out there against gvt issued license of ANY kind, which I personally am. But I do not call a man a yenta, undeservedly. Which basically brings us to this: what is your point?

"Libertarian principles" if to be taken as some religious tenet, makes you no more than a anthropologist delusionally laughing at CargoCults, when you yourself are one.

I have not seen such utter bastardized (MIS)understanding of libertarianism and/or freedom philosophy from a DailyPaul'er, than you, sir/mam. Frankly with the Oligarchs' blatant growing and obvious opposition to HR1207, I see more and more trolls against the Doctor, in almost every Forum thread I see. Try Wonkette, or DailyKos, it should agree more with your fraudulent views. Or you may just want to reconsider, how you came to your views, or if you have one to begin with.

You didn't think your comment would go unchallenged, of all places, at DailyPaul, did you?

Don't mess...

with Dr. Paul OR the BlueMan!

Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand had a falling out

Ayn Rand claimed Murray was her "Avowed enemy". She did not buy the Von Mises, as nor no Objectivists. We prefer Laisse Fair capitalism, where the market dictates everything.

I am not bitter, but when I joined the Libertarian party in 1976, it was being infiltraied then, by Ron Paul, Murray and others who were the "religious right". They are what destroyed the Libertarian party, and now they destroy the GOP...

I'm an Indy since 1992 and I think the sooner all the parties go the better off we slaves will be.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN!
